If there were a war with North Korea the US has the resources to deal with it.

We wouldn't be limiting ourselves to conventional weapons at that point. Tactical nuclear shells from artillery comes to mind. Note that the US recently refused to rule out the use of nuclear weapons against North Korea when it said that it would never use nuclear weapons except in defense against nations that were parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

In a personal sense, we could hijack a nuclear silo and shoot an ICBM at Pyongyang.

I agree that if war is inevitable, it is much better to start it at a time of our choosing.
